What a great ending to the Deep Haven Series!! The whole series has been so good that it is hard to put a book down. You just want to keep on reading. I love how Susan May Warren weaves characters from the previous books in without making the book dependent upon reading the previous books in the series. I could easily see each book in this series being made into individual movies. Susan May Warren is an excellent writer & I am looking forward to reading her other series's next.

The story is about Annalise Decker, who had to create a new life 20 years prior after being placed into witness protection. But all the secrets she fought to keep hidden, comes to the surface with the appearance of her handler, with the bad news that the person she testified against is out of prison and is promising to make good on his threat to kill her. Problem, no one, not even her husband is aware of her prior life. Now she has only a few days to decide what to do and how it will affect not only her life, but those around her.

I've always enjoyed reading Susan May Warren, but this one takes the cake. It was amazing. I made the mistake of starting it on my lunch break at work, and the hour passed way too fast. Needless to say, I didn't finish it at that time. When I made it home, I wanted to sit and read it, but had to make dinner. Then hubby wanted me to watch a program with him. Finally, I escaped to the bathroom and took a very long bath while I devoured this book. It had me from the first chapter and kept me enthralled all the way to the epilogue. Absolutely loved the story. It had me wanting to laugh, cry and just gasp.

I definitely recommend this book and will share it with close family members. But this will be a book that I will read time and time again. Well done!

Annalise and Nathan Decker have the ideal life. Nathan is running for political office and Annalise is busy with her home, children and all the activities they are involved in. However, she has one very big secret she has told no one. She is on the Witness Security Program. Her agent, Frank, comes to town to warn her the criminal she testified against is out of prison and may be looking for her. Frank stays with them to help keep her safe and develops a relationship with Nathan's mother. But it seems like their life is starting to unravel anyways.

This is the final book in the Deep Haven Series. I have really enjoyed this series and meeting the people in the town. The series is Christian Fiction, reminding us to turn to God to help us in our lives. But the author does it in such a way that she does not get preachy and the books are really easy to read.

I really enjoyed this book. ÃÂ This was the second book I have read by Susan May Warren and I enjoyed this one though not as much as the first one I read. ÃÂ Again, because it was a fiction book, you could be fairly sure that everything was going to turn out okay in the end, but the way it turned out ÃÂ had a few options, and I liked how it did turn out with the whole community being willing to rally around Annalise and her family and support her.
